The Future Soundtrack for America was a fundraising compilation CD featuring an amazing array of artists. It was a joint project with MoveOn.org and Music For America. (McSweeney's Publishing also released a book with similar fundraising goals that included a copy of the CD; The Future Dictionary of America features contributions from an astounding group of almost 200 writers, from Paul Auster to Michael Chabon to Jonathan Franzen to Joyce Carol Oates to Kurt Vonnegut to Wendy Wasserstein.)
One hundred percent of the proceeds from the book and CD projects went to non-profit progressive organizations, including Music For America, Common Assets, The Sierra Club, and others.
